It has the same subtle humor as the Villainous Victorian Velociraptor did back when it was being sold and THATS one of my favorite shirts.

I hope that this shirt gets an honorable mention and that it will be up for voting again because I will be crossing my fingers for it.

Once again, good luck if you get the honorable mention, I'll be pulling for you.

Amen to that. I'd have bought several for when I inevitably wore one out. I actually drew something just like this a couple years back; an old Russian tank driven by a bunch of sharks, specifically. I was amused by the switch in meanings of a shark in a tank, and I happen to be very fond of both.

Please inform us if you ever get this printed elsewhere, Spiritgreen, and I'll be watching for that potential honorable mention!

Agreed. If this prints at any future date, I'm in for at least one. One of the most-wearable designs, for my personal taste, I've ever seen on this site.

Ok, let me start off by saying that whenever this prints, I am in for at least 2, maybe 3.

However, I just realized this was completely off topic for the derby. 8 shirts from this derby were rejected due to "reinterpreting artwork" instead of "reinterpreting title". This shirt is completely shark in a tank, and not The Physical Impossibility of Death.

I overlooked it until now because I think I was caught up in the I want one! state of mind. But how did Woot! overlook it if they rejected 8 others? Maybe it was because of how awesome it is.

Either way, I hope very much to own this one day. Please keep us posted if it prints somewhere else SG.

Thanks for the support jabberjaws'! I should explain that, like Robbie Lee and Walmazan's designs, I was reinterpreting the title -and- the content of the original art piece.

"The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" can also be interpreted as feeling undefeatable or indestructible. Once I settled on that as my theme it quickly dawned on me that I could still use the shark and a different kind of tank to express it. Double whammy style. ;)

Well, it's been a long time since this derby, and I finally got off my butt and posted my Starry Night shirt somewhere else! Click for the original derby entry. It's up for sale now, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link it in this post or not (since that would be advertising another site). If you're interested, please send me a private message and I'll let you know where it's up. Also, I removed that fake binary from the moon, since that seemed to be something everyone agreed needed to go. Thanks again for all the support! And I look forward to submitting more derby entries here in the future!

Hey - I was wondering if this shirt is still up for sale on the other site that you mentioned? If so, please let me know. I think this is a great shirt and would def like to own one!

Thanks!

If you compare this design to the original, you'll see the vast majority of it is new, original linework- only the mountain and one wave (not the great one!) were copied (not pasted, but hand copied in the traditional sense) from the original. It was actually difficult to organically end the image and to use only 3 colors for the whole thing, etc.

Also, I really don't think the hand placement is an issue- do you think it would look like it was copping a feel or something?

I hope I don't sound too defensive here, but I'm proud of the way this design turned out and I'd hate for you to think this was a Photochop job!
